A Good Romance

"According to the speculation of predecessors, this is the spine of an alternative dragon," Helian Xun Xue said.

The spine was the most important bone for both humans and demonic beasts. It was even more important than the skull. If this was a dragon's spine, then it was no wonder that it could connect heaven and earth.

"There's no dragon's might anymore." Ling Han pressed his hand on the "sky-reaching tree." The bone patterns were lustrous white, and even if it had experienced who knew how many millennia, it was undamaged, but there was no longer a trace of an elite's aura circulating.

Otherwise, if an important part like the spine casually released a trace of aura, an ordinary ninth layer Shattering Void Tier cultivator would probably be suppressed to the point that their legs would go weak.

"Don't be careless. Although there's no dragon's might here, as long as you reach a certain level, there will be a pressure. Moreover, the higher you go, the more terrifying this pressure will be," Helian Xun Xue warned.

As if to annotate her words, peng, a person fell from the sky. He fell solidly, and directly broke into pieces. This was a member of the Sea Race, not of the bloodline of a true dragon, but a prodigy of the Willow Octopus Race. There wasn't a single bone in his body, and he was known for being able to take a beating and having strong recovery ability, yet he lost his life here.

"Ah …" Another person fell, but this time he didn't die. However, at least half of the bones in his body were broken, and his blood flowed like a fountain. Very soon, the lower part of his body was dyed blood red.

He struggled to his feet, and forcibly used his Origin Power to condense his broken bones. He took out a few alchemical pills and swallowed them, then sat down in a cross-legged position to refine the medicinal effects and recover from his injuries.

This Bone Tree was really too big. Perhaps there were people falling from it at every instant, but due to the limitations of their field of vision, they couldn't see them.

"Are you going to enter the Black Tower?" Ling Han asked Helian Xun Xue.

"Heng, are you looking down on me?" Helian Xun Xue asked in displeasure. She was the pearl of the north sea, after all, and her present battle prowess might even be above Ling Han's.

Ling Han raised his hand, smiled, and said, "Sigh, you don't know how to appreciate my kindness. Wasn't I just concerned about you, and wanted you to slack off a little."

"No need …" Helian Xun Xue immediately began to climb the Bone Tree. Her speed was extremely fast, and in an instant, she had already rushed up over 300 meters. However, her speed very quickly slowed down.

"Hu Niu, let's go too."

"En …" Hu Niu nodded crisply, and climbed up together with Ling Han.

Sure enough, after ascending about 300 meters, a faint pressure was emitted from the Bone Tree. Because no one could fly here, they could only climb up the tree. They had to hold onto the tree trunk tightly, and had to resist this kind of pressure at all times.

Facing this kind of level of pressure, Ling Han and Hu Niu naturally didn't take it seriously in the slightest. They both turned into the light of lightning, and quickly climbed up the tree trunk, as fast as lightning.

Helian Xun Xue wasn't slow, either. She not only learned the Thunderclap Ninth Heaven, she herself was also a super genius, and her talent was not the slightest bit inferior to Xu Xiu Ran and the others.

After more than an hour, they surpassed a lot of people along the way. Some were fine, minding their own business as they climbed up, but some actually wanted to attack Ling Han and the others. Ling Han obviously wouldn't be polite, and attacked without mercy, shaking these people who couldn't control their hands off the tree. Whether they lived or died would depend on their fate.

The speed of Ling Han and the others became slower and slower. They had now climbed over two-thirds of the height, and the dragon's might was also becoming stronger and stronger, causing Ling Han and Helian Xun Xue to sweat.

Only Hu Niu acted as if nothing had happened. One moment, she would fly very high, and the next moment, she would climb down again, urging Ling Han to hurry up.

Ling Han thought that if an ambush was carried out at the entrance of the third layer, the effect would be great, and the possibility of falling for it would be over 90%. However, this spine was too big, and who knew where the target would come from? Thus, if they wanted to set up an ambush, they would need at least a few thousand people to form a circle on top.

Moreover, every one of them would have to have the battle prowess of the peak stage of the Heaven Tier. Otherwise, they still wouldn't be able to do anything to Ling Han.

However, Hu Niu was not affected by the dragon's might in the slightest. With this scout here, who could ambush Ling Han?

Their speed became slower and slower, but after another two hours, the three of them still climbed to the top of the bone tree, and entered the third layer of the Ghostly Dragon Cave.

The environment here was different again. All around them were bare mountain rocks, but every rock was crimson in color. From afar, it looked like a land of blood, and also like a burning sea of fire.

Crimson was the main color of this place, and there were no other colors aside from that.

"Dracaena also grows in the cracks of rocks." Though they had already harvested more than 100 stalks, and there was still a large amount of Blood Locust Tree Hearts, such treasures would never be too much no matter how many there were.

Ling Han nodded. The three of them searched as they advanced, but did not waste any time on the way. After all, the main point of this trip was the True Dragon's Tooth. This was the most valuable treasure. They did not want to waste too much time here, and if the Ghostly Dragon Cave closed, they would all be expelled. Then, it would be a matter of 500 years later if they were to enter again.

Their luck was not bad, and they had many gains along the way. This was naturally because Ling Han had activated the Eye of Truth, and could see everything clearly, no matter how big or small, which naturally greatly increased their gains.

However, in this way, their speed would definitely be affected, but every time the Ghostly Dragon Cave opened, there would be at least half a month's time. They had only used five days so far, so no matter what, they still had about ten days left.

"There's a big guy in front …" Ling Han withdrew his gaze, and even rubbed his eyes. These few days, he had continuously used the Eye of Truth, causing his eyes to feel a little sore, and it was quite uncomfortable.

"Could it be a Demonic Ape?" Helian Xun Xue mumbled to herself. Seeing the doubtful expression on Ling Han's face, she explained, "The monsters on the third floor are mainly a kind of ape-like creature, but according to speculation, this could be the fleas on the alternative dragon's body, which have absorbed the dragon's blood and transformed."

Ling Han's expression involuntarily became strange, and he said, "Such a powerful existence like the alternative dragon would also have fleas?"

"Of course not when it was in its prime, but in its later years, its Qi and blood would decline, and it might not even be able to move a finger, so it would be very normal for it to have fleas," Helian Xun Xue said.

The lifespan of the dragon race was very long. Even in its later years, when it still had one last breath left, it might need eight to ten years before it would truly die, so it would not be strange for it to have some parasites. Just like the Bloodworm on the first floor, it was probably because its Qi and blood had declined in its later years, and a strange change had occurred.

"The fleas actually absorbed the dragon's blood and could actually grow to a height of over thirty meters. That's quite rare," Ling Han said with a smile. "However, this large flea is sitting there without moving, as if guarding some kind of treasure. Maybe it's another Dragon's Blood Grass."

"Come, let's go."

They advanced, and not long after, they saw that there was indeed a gigantic crimson monster squatting in front of them. It was shaped like an ape, yet it had six legs, and indeed looked more like a flea. And under this monster's body was a gigantic blood-colored stone, which had a much deeper luster than the other stones.

Helian Xun Xue was slightly excited, and said, "Could it be the True Dragon's Bloodstone?"

Reading on a mobile phone was more refreshing
